Hi Ken, I went to Laygate School infants pre war ll until I was evacuated from there in 1939, later in the war I returned and used to have a pie for lunch from Smith's pie shop in Maxwell Street, cost five pence, the teacher asked me where I had lunch and I told her and she asked do you have the five pence on you now and I said "Yes miss" she exchanged it for a school meal ticket also cost five pence and that was my introduction to those school meal service. After a heavy air raid on the town I was again evacuated and when I returned in 1944 I was sent to mortimer road school. The memory's are flooding back, thanks, take care, Urfa
